  Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Rebecca.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Good morning Katie.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Great to have you on the show. Rebecca.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I know last time we spoke, I think you said
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we're in a monsoon break.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Does that continue at the moment.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. We have continued with that sort of
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: weather across the weekend. We've had a few significant thunderstorms,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: mainly south of Darwin, but did affect parts of the
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: rural area across the weekend, and expecting that sort of
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: conditions to continue today. So yeah, still got a bit
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: of an easterly flow across the top end with afternoon
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: shouts and storms expected, But for Darwin today it's looking
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: a little bit less likely. If anyone's been looking at
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the sky, it's a lot of blue sky around today,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and if we get something, it's more likely to be
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: late in the day overnight perhaps.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It was interesting yesterday when that bit of rain came through,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: or a bit of a storm I suppose came through
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: one side of the of the sky looked as I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: was still pretty sunny, and then the rain began and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh, hang, on a second, what's happening here?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yesterday was very isolated, just really one storm
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: that popped up over the CBD and over the harbor
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and the rest of Darwin missed out.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was nice. It's always nice when that bit
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of rain arrives. Rebecca. What can we expect in Catherine today?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for Catherine as well, maybe a little bit hit
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and miss as well. Expecting a top of about thirty
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: six degrees in Catherine today, so reasonably warm, but only
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a slight chance that that might get a shower of
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: storm today and it would probably be pretty light on
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: end terms that Sharon storm activity for the next few days, all.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Right, And so what is the forecast for the remainder
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of the week, obviously for Darwin but also surrounds and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to Catherine.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, so for Darwin, probably for the next few days
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: we'll see a lot of sunny skies, maybe getting a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: shower of storm overnight, but yeah, just a slight chance
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: of that Tuesday and Wednesday, better chance on Thursday, with
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit of moisture coming back in for Catherine
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: as well, it's going to be pretty slim pickings for
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the next couple of days. We're just seeing a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of dry air coming in across the top end, so
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: probably not until later in the week there might be
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a better chance of shows and storms.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Rebecca Patrick, it's always great to catch up with you,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and no warnings or anything we should be aware of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: this morning before I let you go.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Currently no warnings, but yeah, if you are out and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: about in particularly South Done, there is a risk that
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: we might have severe thunderstorm warnings today with some damaging
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: winds with those storms all right.
• 3:07
